Tyne Cot Cemetery & Memorial

Be prepared to be overwhelmed upon arrival at Zonnebeke’s Tyne Cot. With nearly 12,000 buried soldiers, this memorial is the largest Commonwealth cemetery in the world, for any war, a sad claim to fame. Dizzying rows of white gravestones line the grass, overlooking sweeping views of the bucolic countryside. The site’s surrounding wall is a memorial to the missing, bearing the name of nearly 35,000 men from the UK that were never found and presumed dead.
